About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Smith-Midland Receives $3.8M J-J Hooks Barrier Rental Contract for I-64 in Virginia

MIDLAND, VA / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2023 / Smith-Midland Corporation (NASDAQ: SMID), a provider of innovative, high-quality proprietary and patented precast concrete products and systems has begun renting its J-J Hooks precast concrete barrier to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), as part of the I-64 Gap Widening Project in New Kent County, Virginia. The total value of the project through its Concrete Safety Systems (CSS) rental division is approximately $3.8 million.

Delivery and installation of the J-J Hooks precast concrete freestanding barrier and crash cushions by CSS will provide direction for motorists and safety for workers. The widening project along the I-64 corridor will expand this major corridor between Central Virginia and Hampton Roads from two to three lanes and is expected to last through 2026. CSS will again be working with Shirley Contracting Company, the general contractor, and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). The size and scope of the specifications highlight the talented CSS crew and their ability to efficiently deliver and install as much as 4,800 linear feet of barrier in a single overnight shift.

"With this latest CSS project, Smith-Midland continues to execute its strategic plan by converting the barrier market from a one-time purchase model to a recurring revenue rental model. The barrier is part of our recently completed barrier buy-back deal which doubled our fleet of the J-J Hooks rental barrier to more than 550,000 linear feet," said Ashley Smith, Chief Executive Officer and President of Smith-Midland.

"We are honored to once again provide our rental barrier and services to another VDOT project. Designed to alleviate congestion and bring additional business along the corridor, this project is a win for everyone involved. Concrete Safety Systems consistently provides quality products and services that continue to be recognized by our contract partners through repeat business." said Matthew Smith, President of Concrete Safety Systems.

Specified and approved across North America, the patented J-J Hooks Precast Concrete Safety Barrier system is the most economical and easiest to install, with fast connections, no loose hardware, and rapid reconfiguration. More than 16 million linear feet have been installed worldwide. The barrier meets the Federal Highway Administration's MASH TL-3 testing standards and is also available in freestanding, bolt-down, and low-profile versions, designed by Easi-Set Industries, a division of Smith-Midland Corporation.
